Hello and welcome to you and Fifi! Share some more pics and more about your life with Fifi when you have a chance

Loved the video! I really enjoy hearing them vocalize. Thanks for posting

I know it is a matter of personal conviction, but I believe our beloved companions will be waiting for us on the other side. When I lose one, I believe the parting is only temporary and they will be waiting for me when I get there! Peace, Ray.

Hello and welcome to you and Levi! So glad to have you join us and looking forward to hearing more about your life with Levi

LOL to the stuffed street taco!

I am in a rural area and do not have access to an avian certified vet. Like you, we have a vet who sees birds (several of them from what I've seen in the office). I feel confident in taking Timber there for "well bird" checks. If Timber were to be ill or I had serious concerns about him, I would probably make the trip. My vet has indicated that she knows her limits, and would be the first to send me to an avian vet if she thought it was warranted.

So sorry Ray! I have been on vacation and am just know reading the forums. I have no words to express my sadness over your loss. God bless and keep you and your wife through your grief.

My sympathy on your loss! We lost our 17 year old Callie two years ago, and I still miss him and think about him. My comfort is in knowing he lived a long (for a cat) full life. He was loved and he knew it. I'm sure Sunshine felt the same!

Beautiful pics! Thanks for sharing an congratulations on your harness success!

Another vote for IBS here...

I imagine Dave will be along and am sure you haven't been deserted. I have no baby experience so can't help, but what a cutie!

Hello and welcome to you and Gabby! What a beautiful baby

Happy hatchday Josey!

Neat video, thanks for sharing! I love hearing them talk...

Hello and welcome to you and Storm! As the others have said, you need to take your time and Storm will come around. They can take a long time to trust. Good luck and God bless

I would be too. Timber is headed for a nail trimming within 3 weeks.

Thought this was great!

That is Timber's favorite vegetable. I cut the stem off (enough to get the bottom leaves), cut about 3/4 inch off the top, strip the outer base leaves, wash it very well, then I pull it open so it looks like a flower. Hang it on a skewer or put it in the bottom of the cage. He actually prefers it in the bottom of the cage. He will attack it, chew on it, shred it, and when the day is done there is nothing left but a bit of the stem in a leaf or two. And I actually see him eating at least a bit of it!

Yikes, no help here! Hopefully Dave or someone who knows will come along...

Nilah's "voice over" made that so funny!

Muse is right. I looked at your post and saw 1 pound 4 ounces, not 1.4. Ha. I use an online calculator as well. Just google "pounds to grams" and it brings a bunch of calculators up.

It's always a guessing game with any kind of food. Like my kids, Timber likes what I don't think he will want and doesn't like what I think he will love!

Beautiful pic!

Looks like 567 grams to me Nancy!

I understand your concern about getting Alex in the carrier for the vet visit. When I brought Timber home, I had a vet visit scheduled the next day. He wasn't stepping up, didn't know us, and was not inclined to be cooperative. Yes, we had to towel him. Fast forward to today, it has been two years and he still doesn't like going into the carrier. Since he goes to the vet every six months whether he likes it or not, he has to go in it. One thing that might work for you is to get him on the floor with the carrier then guide him into it with the towel. If he is like Timber, he will go the opposite direction of the towel, so he might go in the carrier to get away from it. Do you see what I mean? We can sometimes "steer" Timber into the carrier by holding the towel in front of him. It is his choice of evils (in his mind) the towel or the carrier. Last resort, there are times when you have no option but the dreaded towel.
